Basic glossary about Torbiere - preparation activity 4 - October

  • BASIC GLOSSARY ABOUT “TORBIERE”

    Here are some common terms that students may use to present the natural park “TORBIERE”, near Roncadelle, on the Iseo lake. They can be very useful for your students to make clearer what they are going to listen to, once they are in Roncadelle. As usual I suggest you should translate them into your own language to enable your students to better understand their meaning. Thank you! These words will be really useful during their trip to “Torbiere” park as well.
